I hate to call you out, because perhaps you would actually concede that which you said you would under those circumstances you just made up (probably not based upon your previous counters to try and nullify reasons to keep sprint that were based upon mechanics/gameplay). But incidentally I don’t believe that you would concede anything on this debate; regardless on how well grounded the pro sprint point is under your own standards. Bottom line is no matter what the pro sprint point is, you would still argue against keeping sprint so what’s the point even of your antics here?

The ability to choose between walking and running dependent upon the situation is just necessary as a player. You detract this element of realism by trying to remove sprint via the “FOV tweak,” and/or “Increased one BMS,” suggestions you put forward. And you can stamp your feet and keep on disagreeing with that but that’s still a legitimate reason to keep sprint in Halo. You all but ignored this last time I said it and it didn’t give you a “different perspective,” nor did you even skip a beat with your never-ceasing campaign against sprint.

That doesn’t mean that enabling players with the ability to choose between waking or running depending on the situation is not a legitimate reason that should should stay in Halo. It’s legitimate enough for you to sit here and try to spend your time countering the point.

You’ve got to be kidding me, who is trying to deflect and ignore right now?? You didn’t sprint, you could only walk or walk slower. And trying to remove sprint to return to one BMS wouldnt change any of that- you can’t possibly try to make one BMS work to go between a slow walk to range up all the way up to a dead sprint like we have in Halo 5. Spartans don’t even look natural moving at such speeds with the weapon at the ready for one; along with the impossibility of trying to make those incredibly wide range of speeds even work at all with one analog stick. Players don’t get to walk and sprint with one BMS in Halo, and that would be a step backwards for gameplay if they tried to remove it now.

Yeah I’m not going to engage with you about that. I don’t appreciate your aggressive debating style so I’m not going to answer your questions to get flamebaited into another argument. You’ve proven nothing other than your aggressive nature in this debate.

Thats just how I am. This is a topic Im passionate about, this is a game that I have grown up with and to see if fall apart in front of me isnt something Im going to take kindly to. And to see people defend the reasons this game is falling apart (in my opnion) is very irritating. So yeah I’m gonna be aggressive about it, especially when the people defending sprint dont have any valid or well thought out reasons as to why it should stay and then claim they are being “harassed” because others with different viewpoints dont agree with them.

Why dont you want to get “baited into another argument” isn’t that why your here, to argue and support your claim, isnt that why we’re all here on this very thread?

Josh’s opinions are just opinions if sin can blow off a bungie members opinion on sprint as not fitting"just another opinion".

I hate to call you out, because perhaps you would actually concede that which you said you would under those circumstances you just made up (probably not based upon your previous counters to try and nullify reasons to keep sprint that were based upon mechanics/gameplay). But incidentally I don’t believe that you would concede anything on this debate; regardless on how well grounded the pro sprint point is under your own standards. Bottom line is no matter what the pro sprint point is, you would still argue against keeping sprint so what’s the point even of your antics here?

The ability to choose between walking and running dependent upon the situation is just necessary as a player. You detract this element of realism by trying to remove sprint via the “FOV tweak,” and/or “Increased one BMS,” suggestions you put forward. And you can stamp your feet and keep on disagreeing with that but that’s still a legitimate reason to keep sprint in Halo. You all but ignored this last time I said it and it didn’t give you a “different perspective,” nor did you even skip a beat with your never-ceasing campaign against sprint.

You’ve got to be kidding me, who is trying to deflect and ignore right now?? You didn’t sprint, you could only walk or walk slower. And trying to remove sprint to return to one BMS wouldnt change any of that- you can’t possibly try to make one BMS work to go between a slow walk to range up all the way up to a dead sprint like we have in Halo 5. Spartans don’t even look natural moving at such speeds with the weapon at the ready for one; along with the impossibility of trying to make those incredibly wide range of speeds even work at all with one analog stick. Players don’t get to walk and sprint with one BMS in Halo, and that would be a step backwards for gameplay if they tried to remove it now.

Bungie’s opinions are guilty of wrong think. The narrative doesn’t fit so we must omit!

So I couldn’t find the video so I just jumped on and did some tests myself
For this test I calculated movement times on heretic in H3 on MCC and in Truth on H5 with and without sprint

I measure distance/time from flag to flag running through pink 2 and from front door to front door on heretic
and I measured distance/time from flag to flag running through pink 2 and front door to front door on truth

i did several tests per movement so I will take the shortest time for each test

HERITIC
-Flag to Flag: 15 seconds
-Front door - Front Door 6 seconds

TRUTH NO SPRINT
-Flag to Flag: 17 seconds
-Front door to Front door: 8 seconds

TRUTH WITH SPRINT
-Flag to Flag: 14 seconds
-Front door - Front door 6 seconds

So it would see that sprinting is slightly faster than the base movement speed in H3 and does allow you to get to your destination slightly quicker
at least according to these tests (please feel free to do your own)

Hmm… This is pretty interesting and I feel it will add something of value to this discussion. I think I will hop on and try to do some of these tests myself tonight. I’d like to see how long it takes to walk around points to put Exuberant Umbra’s “map widening,” theory in Halo 5 to the test as well using maps that were rebuilt from older Halo games.

Im genuinely glad you will consider this. Many of us say sprint is an illusion due to the travel times in remakes being nearly identical, I hope you can recognize this.

So the times are comparable between all the games really
H5 decreased the base movement speed to make is slower than in H2 and H3 and made sprint slightly faster than H3 BMS to accomodate it

so really is gaining that second or two really that big of a difference? And does the small increase justify everything else that goes along with it?

the movement times are comparable and seem to be almost on par which means sprint seemingly accomplishes nothing

Uhhh EVERYTHING

Of course I’ll consider it. This is simply a test of movement. Btw I’ve considered all anti sprint opinions; even if I don’t agree with them.

I’m going to spend more time doing this, but here are the times that I’ve come up with so far after a quick test with a stop watch.

Halo 5: Truth:

From: Blue team Flag location; To: center of Carbine Two
Walking: ~8.3 seconds
Sprinting: ~6.4 seconds

From: Center of Carbine Two; To: center of Pink Tower Two

Halo 2: Midship:

From: Red team Flag location; To: center of bottom mid:
Walking: ~4.5 seconds

From: Red team Flag location; To: center of Carbine Two
Walking: ~6.6 seconds

From: Blue team Flag location; To center of bottom mid:
Walking: ~4.5 seconds

From: Blue team Flag location; To: center of Carbine Two

From: Center of Bottom Blue; To: Center of Bottom Red
Walking: ~10.0 seconds

From: Center of Bottom Red; To: Center of Bottom Blue
Walking: ~10.2 seconds

Summary:

Caveat: I understand that these tests were only run once and slight deviations can occur between tests.

-There’s no doubt that sprinting takes you between distances much faster than any previous pace offered by Halo 2 or Halo 3 (Regardless as to how hard you press the stick to move). Situation dependent, I believe it’s important for a Spartan to be able to choose between a “walking,” pace and a “sprinting,” pace; which is why I feel it’s important to keep sprint in order to give players the option to choose between a walking pace or a dead sprint.

-It takes about 1.1 seconds longer to travel from Flag spawns to bottom mid between Truth (Halo 5) and Heretic (Halo 3) and roughly 1.2 seconds longer than on Midship (Halo 2). The map on Halo 5 does appear to contain more distance to cover from Flag Locations to bottom mid than the maps from Halo 3 and Halo 2.

-The deviation (~0.2 seconds) was negligible however in walking from Center of Bottom Red; To: Center of Bottom Blue between all three games. There was some additional time required in order to navigate the “pit,” area of bottom mid on Halo 2 and on Halo 3 which seemed to increase the time for this test. The distance was shorter but the dip in the pit area on the older Halo games seemed to slow the travel time down to a time comparable to that in Halo 5’s Truth map that doesn’t have a drop in elevation at bottom mid.

-The deviation (~0.4 seconds) was negligible in walking from Center of Bottom Blue; To: Center of Bottom Red across all three titles. This doesn’t appear to support the “stretching,” of this map according to movement speed.

-The deviation (~0.2 seconds) was negligible in walking from From: Center of Carbine Two; To: center of Pink Tower Two across all three titles. This doesn’t appear to support the “stretching,” of this map according to movement speed.

-Overall based upon these tests it does feel that the distance between bases is shorter on Halo 2 and on Halo 3 than on Halo 5; although with the dip in elevation at bottom mid posing an obstacle for Halo 2 and Halo 3 the total travel time directly between bases appears to comparable. There could also be any number of reasons why 343i would have chosen to increase any distances on the map: such as to cut the dip in elevation at bottom mid in order to expand the direct distance between bases which would make sense and it wouldn’t have anything to do with sprint either.

Gaining a second or two can mean everything! It makes all the difference in this game , are the maps from halo 2 compared to H3 the same size?

That dosn’t make it the same size, it’s all in scale. Since your not always moving at that faster speed actual combat is slower because of the fact that the map is scaled larger for sprint.

Uhhhhhh… I wouldn’t say a second is much faster
you arrive at your destination a second faster sprinting in H5 than you do at full speed in H3
so really “the ability to choose speeds” means nothing with such a little difference between distance/times
which leads to the idea that the maps have been made larger to accomodate sprint

also thank you because I think I’ve figured out the premis of your argument

“I believe it’s important for a Spartan to be able to choose between a “walking,” pace and a “sprinting,” pace; which is why I feel it’s important to keep sprint in order to give players the option to choose between a walking pace or a dead sprint”

Thats your argument

However the tests show there is minimal difference between the two

That’s not the premise of all of my arguments for keeping sprint in Halo. There were many other points that I’ve brought up to support keeping sprint- you just seem to want to focus on the mechanical aspect.

That was the mechanical reason that I provided to you for this discussion because I don’t feel like continuing to engage with you on my pro sprint opinions regarding why sprint is beneficial for Halo.

Many other reasons that I’ve also provided in the past for keeping sprint in Halo were: Immersion, Realism, Lore, Predictive Combat, Player Expectations, Give the majority of fans what they want in Halo, and Past Precedence. Those aren’t even all the points that I’ve argued when advocating for sprint but those are where I began in this thread and those are additional reasons other than what I’ve argued with you which is enabling players to choose between movement speeds whether to walk or sprint based upon the situation. I just choose not to get into a bickering contest with you about those points any further. Thank you for understanding that.

Article on map design.

Not the first time it’s been posted here.

The illusion that is called sprint.Not the first time that has been posted either.

1: You have an analog stick, choosing your pace is easy and not a trait enabled by sprint.

2: Indeed

3: There are multiple of ways to increase the travel time of a player other than to stretch a map, obstacles.

4: Not everything has to, it’s a design choice.

5: Map design metrics, the time you want someone to cross a section is dependant on the distance and speed. If speed is a constant then you need to adjust the distance.
A varying speed between iterations but roughly the same time will mean varying distances, i.e stretching / scaling.

And in the past I’ve said that immersion lore predictive combat player and player expectations are not legitimate reasons
also if the “majority” of players want sprint then where the hell is everyone, maybe the majority of the 20,000 people still playing want sprint but what about the millions that left

I would suggest that a -1/2 second difference in traveling time Is negligible and buffing base movement speed to 110% or even 115% would more than make up for the 1/2 second difference

anyway we aren’t going to see eye to eye on this so we will call our part of the conversation over

I do appreciate your grounded and open minded approach to this debate even when we don’t always agree.

  1. Agreed however to add to this it appears to me that the range of speed between the walking pace and sprinting pace is too wide of a gap to try and force into one BMS.

  2. Indeed

  3. Indeed

  4. Interesting points and I see what you mean.
